Legislative Proceedings.
FRIDAY, Dec. 1G.

COUNCIL.
Very little business was done in the
Council this afternoon, the members
being tired and drowsy from their
visit to the Insane Asylum.
The Memorial to Congress relative
to the removal OF Duncan's Rock, neal
the mouth of the Straits of Juan Dc
Fuca, finally passed.
House Memorial No. 2 to Congress
relating to the removal of Instructions
from the upper Columbia river, was
read first and second time, and I'M
der a suspension of the rules II third
time, and passed.
The report of the committee on
Education, to which was referred the
bill introduced by Mr.. Thompson, APP
propriating $50 600 for the erection OF
school for the education of defective
youth, reported favorably amend
ments which, among others vi minor
import, reduces the total appropria.
ton to $4,000.
The Council then adjourned until
tomorrow morning.
HOUSE.
Absolutely nothing was done in the
House this afternoon, the members
being in about the same condition as
their confreres of the upper branch OF
the Assembly.
The time was occupied mainly in an
effort to ascertain what committee
should be sent to inspect the Peniten-
tiary at Walla Walla. The matter was
finally adjusted by adoption of a reso-
luton sending special committee
to inspect that institution and
and the fisheries and granting leave OF
absence to the standing committee on
the Penitentiary from the 18th instant
until their duties are completed.
Keane presented resolution that a
special committee of two from the
Council and three from the House be
appointed to visit two or three coal
mines in Pierce or King counties and
report for the information of the Leg
islature.
House Joint Resolution No. 4, max
ing somewhat similar provisions. was
adopted.
Adjourned until tomorrow.

The Alien Act.

The Attorney General, in reply to the Presidents query, considers the various sections of the act of March 3rd, 1887, at great length. His conclusions are sum- med up as follows:
 First-As mines are real estate or in- heritble interests in real estate, the act does not apply to them.
 Second-Stock in corporation is per sonalty. An alien can lawfully have, hold and own shares of stock issued by an American corporation, whichis now the owner of mineral lands in Territory, but if the holdings by aliens exceed 20 per cent, such corporation can neither acquire. hold, 0 VII nor hereafter acquire real estate whlle 20 per cent of the stock is held and owned by aliens.
 Third-Under the act advancement oi money hereafter by aliens for the pur- pose of developing mining property is lawful, but no interests in real estate can be acquired by such advancement, nol would an alien have any right to purchase the real estate or any interest therein or loan made since the passage of the act even if sold on his own security or lien. Fouth-Aliens may lawfully contract with American owners to work mines by personal contracts for hire or by bona | fide leases for reasonable time.

Badly Misrepresented.

The Tempe News says: "We under stand that a perpetual injunction has been placed npon the great Florence ca- nal project by the United States, upon proof being shown that the Indian ditch es would be derived of water by the ap- propriation of any considerable amount above. This news gives us the reason for the stagnation of Florence. It is a fact that the Gila does not carry one- sixth the volume of Salt. river and that the Indians on it's banks frequently lose their summer crops of corn anl pump kins on account of the lack of necessary fluid. So where are the white mans ditches to obtain it, especially such a ditch as the one now being excavated? We would like to hear from the Florence press on the subject"
 We can scarcely call to mind SO short paragraph AS the above that contains so many gross misrepresenta tations. There has been no injunction placed upon the Florence canal, nor will there be, to re- strain it from taking the water of the Gila river. The attempt to cause such writ to issue was the scheme of vim
 
 dictive person abetted by a few men who do not deserve to be classed as citi- zens of Florence, and was conceived in malice and envy; and when thorough investigation was made it was found that there exists no necessity for such pro cess. The Indians receive the water they use for irrigation from the sur. face flow of the Gila river, and if they ever fail to receive a sufficient supply fol their uses it is the fault of their method of taking it from the river. There ii plenty of water, but they cannot expec it rise up from the level of its bed tC reach their ditches. They must improv, their headgates by running them furthe up the river or by constructing sub merged dam to force upward the grea underhow.
 The reckless statement of the eompar ative quantity of water in the Gila an' Salt rivers is not a question of opinion but one of fact. The Gila river abov Florence at the Butte, during the exceed jngly dry spell just previous to the re cent rains carried to waste beyond tn requirements of all the present irrigatin

REAvIs, who derives fair sort of an existence by working credulous capitalists of the east with his bogus lard grant scheme, has succeeded in getting long interview in San Francisco paper that is inimicel to Arizona, and by this adroit advertisement he manages once more to bring himself into prominent notoriety, which is his only stock in trade. His bubble has been 80 often punctured that no reputable journal will repeat his plausible assertions as matters of news and fact, and all reference to the blatant humbug is very much of "chestnut." :" His "claims" to an Arizona grant are vis- ionary, aud have been summarily kicked out of the department in which he sought to obtain recognition and footing. It is time his little scheme was buried, that his distinguished talents at the han dle of shovel may not rust through dis use and as an experiment in his earning an honest livelihood.

IT is a misfortune almost amounting to a calamity that has fallen upon Phenix by the attempt of certain people to cloud the title to large portion of its best property through mercenary motives. A class of men who seek flaws in titles to black mail the owners has infested Arizona for several years, and no species of property has been exempt from their insidious at tentions. Mining properties have beep subjected to their extortion and pur- chasers have often been compelled to buy their peace in the possession of their own property. Valuable real estate is a tempting morsel for their larcenous at tentions and wherever the slightest ab- rasion of title exists, there the fungi will fasten and sap out the life of the owner TriAing flaws may be found in numerous titles to property in frontier country like Arizona and the people have no use for the ghouls who dig up the muIty rec crds and make use of technical irregular ities for the sole purpose of adding to the rotundity of their own capon-lined abdo- men.

YOUNG BUTCHERS LUCK. He Wins S15,OO i'm The Louis
 lana State Lottery.

'1 want to see reporter" said an unusually happy-looking individual as he entered the Chronicle Building. On be. ing introduced to one of the staff he com menced by saying that his name was A. J. Trefts and that he lived in Butcher town. As there was large fire recent ty Tn that part of the city there was ap- parently no great reason for such un- usual joy as that manifested by MT. Trefts. He, however, was very anxious which had fallen to him soon after he had been burned out.
 "I am the fellow. I won it. Just bought one ticket and got $15, ,OOO. That's luck isn't itl" said the jovial Trefts
 Then it began to dawn upon the re- porter that he was really in the presence of another one of the lucky holders of winning number of Louisiana lottery prize. Mir. Trefts had come down of his own free will to tell of his lucky ven- ture.
 ''I could hardly believe my eyes when I read that number" said he, "52, ,749. l looked at my ticket and turned it over and laid it down beside the paper and compared it and then began to think was the luekiest man I ever met. Just think, one ticket and all that money for $1."
 "What are you going to do now, MT. TreftsP asked the interviewer.
 '1 aA going to extend my business right away for that fire nearly did for me. I didn't believe much in the Louis iana State Lottery before, and I just thought to myself when bought the ticket, well, I've lost enough money al ready, this dollar will never be missed, and now you may be sure never stor thinking how glad was I bought it, and so thought I would drop in and tell you all about it. t."-San Francisco (Cal l Chronicle.

They will begin the work of preparing their lands for cultivation and will plant orchards and vineyards and lay the foundation of future happiness and pros perity. A thousand families means five thousand persons, and thls number is but fracGon of the great influx that will reach this place in the early spring.

HERE is cOnundrum for MI. Sparks consideration: The odd sections granted to railroad were not affected by the government doubling the price ON the even sections. When the odd sections were forfeited and returned to the public domain what law of congress increased their price to the double minimum They form no part of the "alternate re- served sections," and their restoration to the public domain was not coupled with any of the conditions of price to which the even or reserved sections were sub feet.
